Fotógrafo Kidder Smith. Fotografía antigua Montoro. Cordoba. España
Fotografía antigua de Montoro en 1950. El fotógrafo es Kidder Smith del que no he encontrado dato alguno, si bien aparecen algunas referencias con este nombre en Internet que no parecen corresponder con fotógrafo activo en España en esa época.
La fotografía pertenece a la serie de la Dirección General de Turismo y esta sobre su habitual soporte de cartón donde indica los datos de las fotos.
El archivo de la Administración General del Estado en Alcalá de Henares guarda los fondos fotográficos del Archivo de la Dirección General de Turismo.

Recientemente he encontrado datos sobre el fotógrafo:
G.E. Kidder Smith fue un historiador de arquitectura, Europea y Americana, a la vez que un fotografo conocido por un libro fotografico titulado " Brazil".
32 original black and white photographs, each mounted to a large paper leaf, bound within cloth. With a hand-drawn title leaf with a map of the coast of Brazil marking the locations photographed. Photographs vary a bit in size, most are approximately 29.5x23.5 cm. (11½x9") or the reverse.Each stunning photograph is captioned in hand-written pencil, and is signed by the photographer in pencil and dated 1942 directly under the photograph.
